Mythology Best Friend Bourbon is a blended bourbon from Mythology Distillery, bottled at 88 proof (44% ABV). It combines a 15-year-old Kentucky bourbon with two high-rye bourbons aged three to five years.
The blend specifications are unusually transparent: a 15-year Kentucky bourbon of 78.5% corn, 13% rye and 8.5% barley; a 5-year Indiana bourbon of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% barley; and a 3-year Indiana bourbon of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% barley.
Wildflower honey and warm cornbread on the nose give way to honeycomb on the palate, moving to gentle cinnamon and toasted almonds, while the 15-year bourbon brings a lasting finish of rich vanilla, pipe tobacco and black currant.
Best Friend is an approachable, well-crafted bourbon to share.
Bourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.
